Angels in the Snow

Falling back

and sinking deep,

we made angles.

Our arms

went up and down and

our legs in and out.

Above, lived the sky

and trees with

spindly branches.

I wondered,

where do birds go

when it snows?

We stayed out

until called back in

 to love –

A home,

 and hot chocolate
from the stove.

Flower, Fleur, Flor

A stem, a petal

Simple elements.

Purple, yellow, pink

Brilliant in display.

The master impressionist at work.

Designing, demonstrating

Broad strokes of genius.

Sweet, pungent, tropical, soothing.

A whiff and a reflection;

Sweet memories.

A hope, a promise.

In celebration, sadness, just because.

Gathered together or in solitude.

Always timely.
